Study Summary

This phase II trial studies the effect of selpercatinib given before surgery in treating patients with thyroid cancer whose tumors have RET alterations (changes in the genetic material \[deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)\]). Selpercatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving selpercatinib before surgery may help shrink the tumors and help control the disease.

Primary Outcome

Defined as the percentage of number of complete response or partial response in total number of patients treated. With ORR by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), will report the percentages of patients that fall into each of the four categories: complete response, partial response, stable disease or progressive disease according to RECIST 1.1.
